Season's Greetings Struther,
SM>         It reminds me of the number of (idiot) motorcycle riders I see
SM>         during the warm summer months (both of them) who wear a
SM>         helmet for protection, because it's the law, but who then wear
SM>         shorts, t-shirt, slip-on shoes, and no gloves.  If they wipe out
SM>         they're gonna be so hurt they'll wish they hadn't worn the
SM>         helmet and that it all would've been over quickly.

       Don't get me wrong Struther, I'm not agreeing with you, but the same
holds for those stupid bicycle helmet laws.  I've had two motorcycle
accidents and a couple of minor bicycle accidents.  Thankfully, I wore a
proper helmet and leather for my motorcycle accidents (it was a requirement
of Satan's Choice in those days :^), but for a bicycle accident, the helmet
is the very last thing you need!  Good elbow pads and gloves are first,
knee pads second, then maybe comes the helmet!
     Cheers,
             Augustin~~~===
